"... my garden is longing for you". From the correspondence

The correspondence between the great Berlin painter Max Liebermann and the director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Alfred Lichtwark, comprises about 470 letters. Lichtwark, who was one of the first to promote Liebermann's art, had a strong influence on the painter. Liebermann, in turn, was grateful to his mentor for the personal advice and friendship. When Liebermann built his country estate in Berlin-Wannsee, he planned the garden design in detailed correspondence with Lichtwark. He himself developed a fundamental idea for the garden landscape and collaborated with his friend to create a diverse modern garden.
